<p>Hello guys! So last week Wednesday, Ireceived my acceptance letter from Morehouse. The next day, I got one from Florida. Yesterday, I got an acceptance letter from Cornell. I wanted to know, which school do you think gives me the best chance of success for what I want to do? (Either pre-law, pre-dentistry or pharmacology) Also, how is the student life and social scene at each school? I am leaning heavily toward going to Cornell, in case any of you wanted to know, but I probably will get the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship for the University of Florida, which might pay up to all of my tuition. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>Am somewhat confused, since acceptances were out some time ago.</p>
<p>Anyway --</p>
<p>Cornell’s reputation is by far the strongest of the three you mentioned.</p>
<p>Florida free ride – what is your family’s financial situation? If you can afford Cornell, I would recommend going there. If it would cause a severe financial hardship, then a full scholarship is difficult to pass. (btw – we are paying full tuition at a private school for my D, even though significant merit money was available elsewhere, so I come by my opinion honestly).</p>
<p>Based on what you’ve written – Morehouse would be my third choice.</p>
<p>Read the financial aid letters, and run the numbers here: [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Award Letter Comparison Tool](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Award Letter Requirements - Finaid) If there still is no clear winner, come back and let us know.</p>
<p>Those graduate programs also are hideously expensive, and admissions depends more on your GPA than on the college/university name on your diploma. It truly is OK to pick a cheap undergrad to save money and/or an institution where you believe it will be easier to get a high GPA.</p>
<p>My father is a dentist and my mom is a pharmacist. I think I might be able to pay for Cornell, but it might cause a bit of a squeeze. Also, how is the social life at these schools.</p>
<p>Remember that professional school is expensive. What kind of price difference are you looking at, and would your parents contribute the difference to professional school costs if you chose a cheaper undergraduate school?</p>
<p>If you have to take out loans for Cornell or it will put stress on your finances (now or in the future if you go to graduate school). I would go with the University of Florida</p>
<p>Do you mean Cornell College or Cornell University?</p>
<p>@morrismm LOL!!! I hadn’t thought of that.</p>
